How OUT-SOS works

OUT-SOS is all about getting things sorted on your terms, within your budget, to your timescales.

We connect people with the best outsourced service providers in their area. We list almost every service you can think of, from grocery assistants to mobile discos — the one thing all of our suppliers have in common is a rock-solid commitment to provide their customers with quality, reliability and value.

Putting the Customer in Control

OUT-SOS is all about customer control. You’re in control of how much you spend on a job, when you get the job done, and the terms of the job. It’s quick to use the site, too. You just log in, search for a supplier or post a job, get the work done and leave a review. It’s that simple.

Post a review

When people use OUT-SOS, they’re often in a hurry. That’s why we make it a quick 5-step process . . .

Register / log in

It’s free to join OUT-SOS and only takes a minute. Go to our login or registration page and follow the onscreen instructions to get started.

Post Your Job

You can browse service providers by category and service type, or you can just use the search box. As soon as you’ve found a suitable supplier category, you just need to explain the job that you need to get done. Our standard post-a-job form lets you define your problem, explain the urgency, set a budget and upload photos and videos for those hard-to-explain issues.

Choose a Provider

The service providers on OUT-SOS.com know that some people are in a hurry, so expect a fast response. We’ll put you in touch with up to 5 service providers, who’ll each provide a quote for the work you want done. You’ll both communicate through the OUT-SOS.com chat feature, which keeps your details secure and puts you in control of negotiations. Once you’ve received and discussed your quotes, it’s just a matter of choosing which one works best for you.

Get the Job Done

As soon as you confirm your booking, the service provider accepts the job and gets to work. You pay OUT-SOS.com for the job, and we’ll hold that money in escrow until the work is completed to your satisfaction. A final invoice is produced at the end of the job, and pending your approval, we release the fee, less our commission, to the service provider. It’s as simple as that.

Post A Review

In the services world, trust is so important. That’s why we’ll always ask you to rate your service provider on the three key virtues of Quality, Reliability and Value. It’s impossible to leave a review on OUT-SOS if you haven’t actually used the service provider, so every review on the site is 100% genuine.

The small print:

Payment for the Services must be done via the Service and members will be liable for any taxes (including VAT, if applicable) required to be paid. The PSP is a third party, currently Stripe. We are not a provider or reseller of the PSP and in order for Service Providers to receive payments through the PSP, they must enter into separate Terms of Service with the PSP (‘TPTOS’).
